Our friend \u2018Paris Hilton\u2019 was working the room in cool sophisticated way that only an A list celebrity can pull off. Paris was chic and glamorous and was happy to pose with everyone for pictures in our Hollywood style photo studio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">See all the pictures from the PartyPoker party on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/album.php?aid=202245&amp;id=102206559991&amp;ref=mf\">Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2941\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2941\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2941\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/img_3918_01-300x2141.jpg\" alt=\"Paris and Naomi text each other.\" width=\"300\" height=\"214\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2941\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Paris and Naomi text each other.<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">We also welcomed PartyPoker Ambassador, Mike Sexton who said a few words to the players. Mike offered some good advice to all the players on how to tackle the WPT Celebrity Invitational event on Saturday.

Many of the guys were obviously keen to make the most of their 4 day stay in Los Angeles and we have a lot of fun lined for them to ensure they all have a great time. The WPT Celebrity Invitational starts on Saturday evening and many of the guys are really looking forward to seeing various well known Hollywood faces and top poker players as well. We shall see who comes down the red carpet on Saturday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2943\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2943\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.partypoker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/img_39061-300x2001.jpg\" alt=\"Party Time\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2943\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Party Time<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PartyPoker welcomes the players to Los Angeles.
